...camp is burning in slow motion. While scant food supplies are a big problem at this hastily-built settlement at Anaka, a 2-km-square mess of tightly packed huts protected by government soldiers in the north of Uganda, a bigger one is spontaneous combustion. Here, [an error occurred while processing this directive] explains a leader in the camp, where some 23,000 people displaced by the region's civil war make their homes, at least one thatched hut ignites every day. So many are burning, in fact, that most residents remove their belongings when they leave each morning...
...independent movie The Cooler, a sentimental story about an unlucky casino employee and his girlfriend, had just been smacked with an NC-17 classification - no one under 17 allowed to attend - by the ratings board of the Motion Picture Association of America. The film's offending passage was a tender love scene between William H. Macy and Maria Bello that included the briefest glimpse of the actors' genitals...
...Lacy changed course on Karr when it became clear that his DNA didn't match what was found at the scene of the crime.

But set to a double-Dutch rhythm by producer Swizz Beatz, with lots of hand claps and whistles and maybe...
Scientists at DODPI have also become expert at tracking the motion of the eyes. When the eye takes in a series of images of faces, objects or scenes, it spends less time on familiar elements because the brain needs less processing to interpret them. DODPI has developed an infrared camera that can track eye movement and an algorithm that can interpret it, providing clues as to whether a suspect recognizes, say, the face of a kidnapped child. Tests have reportedly achieved an 85% to 92% success rate...
